Bobbi Brown's Fall Looks


I just received a little pamphlet from Bobbi Brown, promoting her Fall 2007 collection. Does any one in the beauty biz do natural better than Bobbi?
I'm loving her Stonewashed Mauve Shimmer Lip Gloss. Well, actually, I haven't tried the products yet. But the pictures make them look very pretty.
We'll keep an eye on these glosses and Bobbi's Stonewashed Look.

Orna for your tired, aching feet



This is a foot cream that was recommended to me by a colleague. It's very rich and helps to eliminate dry, cracked heels. If you wear flip flops the way I wear flip flops, you will understand what dry heels look like. They crack. They bleed. They are messy and unsightly. They disturb my chi.

The product retails for about $30

Streekers!


Folks! I'm not talking about skinny dipping here. But I wanted to give you an update on my new fave summer product. I tried the hair color today -- in pink -- and it was great. You can brush it on a strand or two of hair for a small hint of color or you can apply it thicker for a more dramatic result. I used it and liked it very much. And it did wash out easily, as promised. However, I went biking and I sweat so much under my helmet that I ended up with a small pink spot on my forehead. That too washed off easily. So go ahead ... paint your hair pink. Just wait until after you go biking and the beach.

*WHAT THEY COST: $9.95 each
*WHERE TO FIND THEM: Select salons and cosmetic specialty stores; ULTA; or via www.streekers.com

Kiss My Face




I used to think Kiss My Face was all about soaps and handcreams. Turns out the company makes hair mousse (far left), tinted moisturizer, lip balm and more.

I liked this 3-in-1 lip tint on the left. You can also use it on the cheeks and eyelids. I like that it has SPF. Always a good idea.
I still haven't tried the body scrub ... but I will. And when I do... you'll be the first to know.

Kinerase Karma

Here's a brief update on my mom and her favorite moisturizer, Kinerase.
Apparently Slimdi has a trick for squeezing out as much moisturizer as possible.
She cuts the tubes.
I had no idea.
But, my mother says she cuts the tube to retrieve as much of the good stuff as possible.
Go mom!

Summer glow minus the harmful rays



I bought this at Sephora, kind of on a whim. It's a great product. No orange streaks. But I use it very sparingly. I mean, I kind of tap, tap, tap it onto the apples of my cheeks. This helps to give me a healthy, sun-kissed glow.

KINERASE FOR MOM



Not sure if you've ever experimented with Kinerase. But as you can tell from this picture, my mom is an addict. She squeezes her tubes until there ain't nothing left. Love that. Please note, while Kinerase is expensive, my momma is worth it. Also, my mother has dry skin, and she is sensitive to a lot of products, including many sunscreens. But she's happy with Kinerase.
